# Beli vs Nine Bar

Beli and Nine Bar both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Nine Bar's written reviews are positive against 49% of Beli's. Beli's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beli sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $5.79 per month and Nine Bar sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nine Bar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beli has 18K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Beli's written reviews are positive against 100% of Nine Bar's.

Beli ships an update every 4 days, Nine Bar fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
